King Electric Recording Co.

Recording Studio

Large analog and digital studio in Austin, Texas, featuring a 24 channel vintage Neve console, 2" tape machine, dozens of vintage and unique instruments and microphones. Home to producer and engineer Justin Douglas.

King Electric is custom-built from the ground up to be a comfortable and creative space to make music in. The centerpiece of the studio is our 24 channel vintage Neve V51 console with eq, filters, and compressors on every channel. Dozens of unique and classic instruments line the walls and we feature an extensive mic collection that includes a vintage U47 FET, USM 69i, and a custom vocal mic centered around a rare 1950s Telefunken tube.

I built this studio so musicians could make music in a room together with as much or as little isolation as necessary because that’s what feels natural and sounds best to me. My favorite recordings are the ones that capture that subtle communication that only happens when people are in the same room.

My philosophy is when you’re at King Electric, the only thing on your mind is making music: no stress, no technical problems, no headphone issues, no worrying about time or money. Everything is taken care of before you think to ask for it, and your only focus is making a record.

Also, I have an endless supply of really, really good coffee.
